| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Place Value
Year 3
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics, ensuring that students develop an understanding of place value as part of their learning in Number and Place Value.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly introduce the concept of place value. Explain how numbers have value depending on their position. Use examples like 123 = 1 hundred, 2 tens, 3 units. |
| 2 | Whole Class Activity | 10 | Engage the class with a interactive exercise using base ten blocks. Have students build representations of numbers and discuss their place values as a class. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 | Distribute place value charts. Work through a few examples as a group, asking students to identify the place value of specific digits in different numbers. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Hand out worksheets with exercises on identifying place values and comparing numbers. Allow students to work independently while providing guidance as needed. |
| 5 | Checking for Understanding | 3 | Quickly review answers to worksheets as a class. Use number cards to compare results and clear any misconceptions. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Homework | 2 | Recap key points of the lesson. Assign homework that reinforces understanding of place value concepts without requiring students to present in front of the class. |
Students will complete a worksheet that includes exercises on identifying and writing the place value of digits in various numbers. They will also compare two numbers using <, >, and = symbols.
Assess understanding through both guided practice and the independent worksheet. Monitor student engagement and correct any misunderstandings during the lesson and in their homework responses.
Ensure to provide individual support to students who may struggle with the concept. Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson to promote a deeper understanding of place value.
